A woman rides her bike past construction on Forest Avenue Thursday, which is part of the city of Chico’s 6.7-mile contiguous State Route 99 Bike Corridor project. The work on the first phase began Tuesday by Knife River Construction and its subcontractors. The bikeway will be composed of a combination of Class I and Class II/III facilities from Eaton Road in the north to Southgate Avenue in the south. The bikeway, to be located on surface streets, drainage easements and city parkland, will complete gaps in existing bike paths, lanes and routes.
